In the heart of Vienna rises one of the greatest testaments to European imperial splendour: Schönbrunn Palace. What began as a modest hunting lodge in the 16th century was transformed under Empress Maria Theresa in the 18th century into a baroque jewel and a symbol of the power and elegance of the Habsburg dynasty.
With more than 1,400 rooms, its interiors display art and decoration in every corner, from rich baroque style to playful rococo details. The Great Gallery, directly inspired by Versailles, still seems to echo with imperial balls, court ceremonies and political decisions that helped shape the destiny of Europe.
But Schönbrunn is more than stone, stucco and gold. Its majestic gardens, laid out in both French and English styles, invite visitors to wander among fountains, statues, tree‑lined avenues and floral designs that change with the seasons. From the hill and the Gloriette you can enjoy some of the best panoramic views of Vienna.
As a unique touch, the palace grounds are also home to the world’s oldest zoo still in operation, Tiergarten Schönbrunn, founded in the 18th century, where animal life coexists with centuries of human history and architecture.
Today Schönbrunn is not just a monument to visit, but an experience to live. Concerts, seasonal events and guided tours allow travellers to immerse themselves in an imperial universe where time seems to have stopped, while modern, vibrant Vienna begins just beyond the palace gates.
